Tai Ji Men Disciples Participate in San Jose’s Fourth of July Tradition
- Rose, White & Blue Parade and Festival

In celebration of the United States Independence Day on July 4th, various regions are hosting activities nationwide. In San Jose, California, the Rose, White & Blue Parade advocates for community support of equality, justice, fairness, and humane treatment. Participants marked this grand and meaningful day by taking concrete actions. This year’s parade showcases over a hundred diverse cultural procession teams, highlighting the success of community integration!


The disciples of Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy, aged 3 to 65, participated in the parade procession. They interacted enthusiastically with the audience to the tunes of "Happiness is Everywhere," "We Are One World," and "Love and Peace Song," demonstrating vitality and hope.


Ms. Hsiao, a disciple of Tai Ji Men from Taiwan who came to the United States to participate in the Independence Day parade, said it was her first time joining such an event. She was deeply moved and honored to see the enthusiastic interaction of the spectators as they cheered along the parade route. In the past, she was not fond of going out and participating in activities, but her involvement in Tai Ji Men’s public service activities has changed her perspective. Experiencing the infectious energy of cultural diversity in the United States has deeply touched her heart!

Spring and her husband Brad, both disciples of Tai Ji Men, have been living in the United States for six years and were delighted to participate in the parade with their two children. Spring expressed joy at seeing her daughter, who used to be shy and sit quietly in a stroller, now walking alongside them and waving happily to the crowd. Their heartfelt interactions shared positive energy that deeply moved her. Brad, an engineer, will also share his experience at the Santa Clara branch Open House event on July 6 at 7:30 PM. During the Open House, he will discuss how practicing Qigong helps him manage stress, maintain physical and mental health, and balance work and family life.
